46And they came to Jericho. And as he was going out from Jericho, along with his disciples and a considerable crowd, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting beside the road.

47And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

48And many were rebuking him so that he would be silent, but he was crying out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

49And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take courage; get up, he is calling you.”

50And throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus.

51And answering him, Jesus said, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabboni, that I may see again.”

52And Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has saved you.” And immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the road.
